We share your personal data within the Nouel Catis Foodstuff Trading L.L.C Group. This will involve
transferring your data outside our jurisdiction to our overseas offices in the US, EU and UAE.
Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the US to countries which have laws that do not provide
the same level of data protection as the US law, we always ensure that a similar degree of protection is
afforded to it by ensuring that the following safeguards are implemented:
We ensure your personal data is protected by requiring all our group companies to follow the same set of
rules when processing your personal data. These rules are called “binding corporate rules” (BCR). To view
our BCR, please contact our DPO.
We use specific standard contractual terms approved for use which give the transferred personal data the
same protection as it has in accordance with US law. To obtain a copy of these contractual safeguards,
please contact our DPO.
We may transfer your personal data to service providers that carry out certain functions on our behalf. This
may involve transferring personal data outside the US to countries which have laws that do not provide the
same level of data protection as the US law.
Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the US to service providers, we ensure a similar degree of
protection is afforded to it by ensuring that the following safeguards are in place:
7. Data security
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally
lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your
personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to
know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of
confidentiality.
We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify
you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
8. Data retention
How long will you use my personal data for?
We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we
collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting
requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we
reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and
sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your
personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those
purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.
By law we have to keep basic information about our customers (including Contact, Identity, Financial and
Transaction Data) for six years after they cease being customers for tax purposes.
In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see paragraph 9 below for further information.In some circumstances we will anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with
you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without
further notice to you.
9. Your legal rights
You have a number of rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data.
You have the right to:
• Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “subject access request”). This
enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are
lawfully processing it.
• Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any
incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the
accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
• Request erasure of your personal data in certain circumstances. This enables you to ask us to
delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it.
You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have
successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have
processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to
comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your
request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the
time of your request.
• Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or
those of a third party) as the legal basis for that particular use of your data (including carrying
out profiling based on our legitimate interests). In some cases, we may demonstrate that we
have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your right to
object.
• You also have the absolute right to object any time to the processing of your personal data for
direct marketing purposes (see in paragraph 4 for details of how to object to receiving direct
marketing communications).
• Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a
third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-
readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially
provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
• Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data
(see the table in section 4 for details of when we rely on your consent as the legal basis for
using your data). However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before
you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain
products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your
consent.
• Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend
the processing of your personal data in one of the following scenarios:
• If you want us to establish the data’s accuracy;
• Where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it;
• Where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to
establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or• You have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding
legitimate grounds to use it.
If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us.
No fee usually required
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights).
However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive.
Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
What we may need from you
We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right
to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure
that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to
ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.
Time limit to respond
We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could take us longer than a
month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will
notify you and keep you updated.
